What is the Ultra 5R?
The Ultra 5R is a super lightweight sleeping mat with a versatile construction that'll keep you comfortable in any season. Whether camping, trekking, long-distance hiking, bikepacking or heading on an alpine adventure, it offers fantastic performance, durability and warmth for a well-earned rest.
What is it made of?
Materials: The outer fabric is recycled 20D ripstop polyester, which offers fantastic durability for its weight. It has a smooth finish and can resist abrasion and scrapes easily, and of course, being recycled, it's better for the environment too! This material is also Oeko-Tex® 100 certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances to provide confidence and safety for the product.
Insulation: Texpedloft Microfibre keeps you warm and provides an R-Value of 4.8 to keep you protected down to -20°C, making this mat suitable for harsh Highland winters and expeditions in colder climates. This insulation is bluesign® approved. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy. Combined with the Oeko-Tex® standard, this makes for some great eco-friendly credentials!
What are its features?
Exped pioneers the flat valve on this mat to provide industry-leading durability, reliability and an intuitive performance for quick and easy set-up.
The Ultra 5R utilises Exped's signature SynMat Technology™, which features the Texpedloft insulation welded to the top and the bottom of the internal air chambers to optimise heat retention over the mat's lifetime. Each chamber runs from head to toe to provide an even, 7cm thick air cushion for maximum comfort and support, helping you to catch those well-needed z's after a long day.
A Comfort Cradle construction helps to keep you in the centre of the mat using strategic air chamber construction, emphasising the outer chambers to act like side rails to prevent you from rolling off.
This mat comes with a Schnozzel Pump Bag for rapid inflation. The pump bag is easy to use and helps prevent moisture build-up inside the mattress to prevent it from rotting and to increase its longevity. It also requires much less lung power than directly blowing the mat up, so you can save all that oxygen for yourself!
Finally, for some extra eco-friendly credentials, Exped works hard to measure, reduce and fully offset CO2 from the manufacturing and shipping of this product. As a result, this mat is measured as carbon neutral by myclimate.
